You need to read this article in the context of Australia. Here the whole "Paleo = Evil or Paleo = Good" debate is second only to the debate on the social merits of the Bachelor TV show. In one week, the Paleo = Eveil machine ramp up their attack, in the 2nd week, the "Paelo - Good" team rally...

So Sorry, I did not see this post when I posted my previous message. I have not experienced any major issues with bitter melon tea. A little at the start, but it seemed to wear off after a few weeks.

Hi, was there any reason why you did not go back to trying bitter gourd (melon) tea? Previously, you posted some impressive data about that trial. I have been using bitter gourd tea for about 2 months now, and the results are really good. I have increased my carb intake to about 150gms per...

i am T2 on LCHF without meds. For what it is worth, I start my 2 hours at the end of the meal. I am usually too busy shovelling food into my gob to remember to set my timer after the first bite. I take bitter gourd tea after each course, and I set my timer a after the last course . This...

Hi, Thanks. Your original "chapters" on BM were the reason that I started to look into it. So, thank you. If you were not aware, BM in a tea form kicks in within about 6 hours and the cost is dramatically cheaper than the pill form. I just drink a cup with every meal. I have found on many...

If you are happy with your tablets that is great, no-one is saying do not take them. If people try natural remedies and have success, why do you have to howl it down? It is about being positive, it is about trying, it is about sharing ideas. It is not about shooting down the ideas of others...

Hi, Thanks for your cynicism, but I am confident of my comments. I maintain a strict diet and keep a limited menu of foods. I also keep meticulous records of my BGL tests. My original comment is based on many months on a LCHF diet and 1 month with the same diet and bitter melon tea. My...

Hi, I have been drinking Bitter Melon (or Gourd) Tea for about a month and the results are great. I am also on the LCHF diet. I am VERY strict about my carb intake; preferably less than 20 grams per day, and I also eat lots of meat. Through diet alone, my readings are about 6.2 to 6.9 mmol...

There is no such thing as a former gambler. There is no such thing as a former drug addict. There is no such thing as a former alcoholic; and there is no such thing as a former diabetic. They are just have not done the one thing that hurts them in a long time. In our case, that is carb loading...

Hi, I had my second HbA1c test results today and my doctor was very happy. I was 13.9 mmol/l and I am now 6.2 mmol/lafter 4 months on a LCHF diet. I am really happy about this, because I consume about 20 grams of carbs per day and I find it difficult to cope with this diet. I will be...
